THE  No.  12  fountains  are  made  of  extra  heavy  castings,  assembled  in  the  best  possible 
* manner  and  cannot  be  easily  damaged  by  blows  of  heavy  vehicles. 

The  foundation  is  made  with  stone  or  cement  extending  to  within  5 inches  of  street  grade.  A 
plan  of  the  cement  work  is  sent  with  fountain.  Four  1 inch  by  21  inch  bolts  are  used  for  fasten- 
ing the  base  of  the  fountain  to  the  cement.  The  bolts  should  have  a 3-inch  washer  at  the  head 
and  anchored  18  inches  in  the  cement.  The  thread  end  of  bolt  should  be  3 inches  out  of  the 
cement  and  have  a locknut. 

The  base  of  fountain  is  44  inches  square  and  13  inches  deep.  The  holes  are  33  inches  center  to  center. 
The  column  sets  on  and  is  fastened  to  the  base  with  four  1-inch  forged  bolts  with  lock  nuts  and  is 
15  inches  square.  A door  is  provided  convenient  to  all  piping  and  also  two  cups  for  small  animals. 
The  bowl  is  fastened  to  the  column  by  four  1-inch  bolts  with  lock  nuts.  The  top  of  bowl  is  4 feet, 
3 inches  above  street  grade,  a sufficient  height  for  horses  to  drink  without  the  driver  being  obliged  to 
uncheck  them.  Four  Individual  Cups  are  placed  at  convenient  intervals  in  and  as  a part  of  the  bowl. 
The  post  which  gives  a total  height  to  the  fountain  of  6 feet,  11  inches,  contains  the  reservoir 
which  supplies  water  to  the  bubble  for  people  and  also  the  small  animal  cups. 

Water  is  brought  to  the  bubble  from  a reservoir  in  the  upper  part  of  the  fountain  by  pressing 
the  pedal  at  the  base  with  the  foot,  and  disappears  as  soon  as  the  pressure  is  removed,  or  by 
direct  supply  controlled  by  a self  closing  cock;  Our  own  patented  bubbler  is  used  and  cannot 
be  made  to  squirt  water. 

The  waterways  are  so  constructed  that  they  will  not  get  clogged  by  sediment  or  freeze  in  cold  weather 
On  account  of  the  form,  poles  and  shafts  of  vehicles  approaching  the  fountain  readily  pass  under- 
neath the  bowl,  so  that  when  four  horses  are  to  be  watered  in  the  same  team,  either  the  two 
leaders  or  the  pole  horses  can  drink  together,  while  standing  in  a natural  position,  with  as  much 
ease  as  a single  horse. 

Every  fountain  is  assembled  and  tested  before  leaving  our  factory  and  does  not  require  any  mechan- 
ical skill  to  set  up.  A pipe  connection  with  valve  to  regulate  the  flow  of  water  is  furnished,  to 
which  the  service  pipe  is  attached.  In  this  connection  we  wish  to  quote  an  engineer  who  was  for  a 
great  many  years  a superintendent  and  water  commissioner  in  one  of  the  largest  cities  in  the  country, 
whose  experience  with  all  kind  of  fountains  is  second  to  none,  as  follows:  “The  Jenks  Fountains  are 
the  only  ones  I have  ever  seen  worthy  the  name  of  a street  drinking  fountain  for  horses. ' ’ Hundreds 
of  our  fountains  have  been  in  continuous  use  for  over  thirty  years  and  are  good  for  as  many  more. 
The  No.  12  weighs  2,300  pounds  and  is  shipped  ready  to  go  on -foundation.

nr  HE  No.  16  fountains  are  arranged  for  constant  How  of  water  and  are  made  of  extra  heavy 
* castings.  They  are  built  to  stand  the  hard  use  and  abuse  received  by  street  drinking 
fountains. 

The  foundation  is  made  with  stone  or  cement  extending  to  within  7 inches  of  street  grade.  A 
plan  is  sent  with  fountains.  Four  1-inch  by  21 -inch  bolts  are  anchored  18  inches  deep  in  the 
cement.  The  thread  end  should  be  out  of  the  cement  3 inches'  Lock  nuts  should  be  used. 

The  base  is  made  so  that  the  upper  part  forms  a trough  for  small  animals.  This  trough  is  29 
inches  in  diameter  and  3 s inches  deep.  The  whole  depth  of  base  is  16  inches.  At  the  bottom 
of  the  base  is  a flange  4 feet,  2 inches  largest  diameter,  with  four  holes,  for  bolts  set  in  cement. 

The  column  is  16  inches  in  diameter  and  is  fastened  to  base  with  four  1-inch  forged  bolts  and 
lock  nuts.  A door  convenient  to  water  valve  is  located  in  column  and  is  fastened  with  a patent- 
ed lock  and  key  of  our  own  design. 

The  bowl  sets  on  and  is  fastened  to  the  column  by  six  I inch  cap  screws.  The  top  of  bowl  is  51 
inches  above  street  grade,  of  sufficient  height  to  allow  horses  to  drink  without  being  unchecked. 
Six  Anti-Germ  Individual  Cups  are  cast  into  the  bowl  at  convenient  intervals. 

The  post  is  simply  for  ornamentation  and  may  be  surmounted  with  an  inscription  plate. 

As  in  all  of  our  fountains,  the  flow  can  not  be  clogged  by  sediments  nor  will  the  water  freeze  in 
winter  weather  enough  to  obstruct  the  flow  through  the  fountain. 

Poles  and  shafts  of  vehicles  in  coming  up  to  fountain,  go  underneath  the  bowl,  allowing  horses  to 
drink  in  a comfortable  position. 

Every  fountain  is  assembled  and  tested  before  leaving  our  factory  and  does  not  require  any 
mechanical  skill  to  set  up.  A pipe  connection  with  valve  to  regulate  the  flow  of  water  is  fur- 
nished, to  which  the  service  pipe  is  attached. 

Water  comes  into  the  cups  at  the  bottom,  fills,  and  overflows  into  the  trough,  the  water  flowing 
over  the  entire  rim  of  cup,  washing  it  thoroughly.  The  trough  is  simply  a protection  to  the 
cups  against  injury,  to  convey  the  waste  water  to  sewer,  and  is  practically  empty  at  all  times. 
A horse  in  drinking  from  the  cup  will  lower  the  water  about  3 inches,  and  before  he  can  move 
away  and  another  animal  reach  the  cup,  the  water  has  overflowed,  carrying  any  scum  or  phlegm 
that  may  have  been  left,  over  into  the  bowl. 

The  No.  16  weighs  2,600  pounds  and  is  shipped  ready  to  go  on  foundation.
